Do able-bodied people really annoy those of us who are disabled? – Ron's Rants…
https://ronsrants.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/do-able-bodied-people-really-annoy-those-of-us-who-are-disabled
Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. April 25, 2015. Do able-bodied people really annoy those of us who are disabled? I’ve been a wheelchair user for 29 years. Occasionally, at first, full-time these days. I’m typing this from my chair. Which isn’t really germane just saying. I treat offers of help with the same good faith in which I assume they are made, and if I decline I do so politely. But I expect that to be the end of the matter get pushy at your own risk. For example, I’ve devised a very ...

Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. Read before posting questions…. Updated January 14 2012. Important what follows does not apply to regular (or infrequent! Correspondents (I’m sure you know who you are), and I am happy to receive comments about my general, or disability and mobility related posts I just cannot enter into correspondence about disability benefits. At all. Because it’s taking over my life! Too much to expect? I have stage 4 COPD, heart failure, aortic valve calcification (those ...

No surgery… – Ron's Rants…
https://ronsrants.wordpress.com/2015/04/26/no-surgery
Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. April 26, 2015. The surgery to amputate my right leg, which I’d hoped would have happened by now, clearly isn’t going to, not least because my surgeon has chickened out (while absurdly trying to blame me for changing my mind ). That is simply not true. There’s another problem too if I’m confined to bed my muscles waste so fast the loss is visible pretty much daily, and I can’t let that happen. I have, though, been overtaken by events, and if they had. Do able...

Photography Updated… – Ron's Rants…
https://ronsrants.wordpress.com/photography-updated
Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. Getting a Like notification for my blog’s photography page made me realise that it’s way out of date. I still have all the kit listed there, but it’s not currently in use. I’ve stayed with the Olympus Four Thirds d-SLR system for its affordability and added to it a Canon bridge camera with a huge 50x zoom, my first new camera in years (I usually buy second-hand from ffordes. S an Olympus 10mp E-420:-. To go with the E-420 bodies (I have two interchangeable le...

My Poetry. – Ron's Rants…
https://ronsrants.wordpress.com/my-poetry
Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. Well, it’s My Poetry, such as it is…. I thought it might be an idea to put my own stuff on its own page, though it’s also elsewhere on the blog. There’s not a lot yet, but it’ll grow slowly – possibly. I have no real talent for poetry. Sometimes, though, something will pop into my head almost fully formed, needing only a final polish. These happened that way, but it doesn’t happen very often. I have remembered a thing…. A time when my blood sang brightly in m...

Self-medication in Pulmonary Oedema… – Ron's Rants…
https://ronsrants.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/self-medication-in-pulmonary-oedema
Ron's Rants…. Read before posting questions…. April 24, 2015. Self-medication in Pulmonary Oedema…. For some years I have been experiencing bouts of Pulmonary Oedema. Though I had no idea that’s what it was, I just put it down to more COPD buggeration* until the day it almost killed me. It’s primarily a symptom of heart failure, which I also have. But I was told, in no uncertain terms that, whatever it is, it will kill me sooner or later,* and at that point I pressed my GP again for the drugs because, ev...
